BSD fund has decided to get into the business of trying to get
donations for further PCC development, so that there can be faster
progress in development.
I have been discussing pcc with BSD fund for a while, and I think they
are doing a great job!
More info on http://www.bsdfund.org/projects/pcc/ , if you want to
contribute to PCC development or have a company that might be
interested in giving money for PCC.

Looks interesting. It would be great to have a 100% C99 compatible
compiler and C standard library. Not sure if that is what is the
eventual goal for the project or not but there seems a real lack on
that front.
I should probably do some more reading into PCC.
